Five Reasons to Transfer to WPI
It’s something you’ll hear time and again: what makes WPI special is the people, and that includes you. Our community is focused on collaboration over competition. While we may have different majors, passions, and interests, the one thing we have in common is that we all want each other to succeed. Here, you’ll have all the resources and support you need to achieve your own distinct goals.
A WPI education is rooted in taking what you learn from renowned faculty and bringing it to life through project work—here, you won’t just learn from the best, but learn how to be the best. As a transfer student, you'll connect with dedicated advisors and faculty members who are focused on supporting and guiding you throughout your WPI experience from day one.
For starters, it’s free to apply to WPI! We offer a Global Scholarship of up to $5,000 to complete project work; also, you may be eligible to apply for academic merit scholarships. WPI also guarantees Phi Theta Kappa transfer students $10,000 per year.
We want your transition to WPI to be as smooth as possible, which is why all transfer students joining our community are offered two free summer courses; one for the summer before your first term at WPI, and one for the summer after. They both make for excellent opportunities for you to catch up or get ahead.
We know it’s one of the questions on everyone’s minds: once you’re at WPI, what’s it going to be like when you’re out? Your future’s yours to make, but whatever path you decide to follow, myriad financial aid options, hundreds of internship and co-op opportunities, and lifetime career resources ensure that you’ll have the skills, resources, and support you need to succeed. (Oh, and did we mention the average starting salary of $81,566 for the Class of 2023?)
